relevant to the unit.

5) Personally created photo or diagram

 

Where an academic has created a chart or diagram, they may attribute it as your own work. If the presentation is used by other academics, giving accreditation for the work assists with making the source of the content obvious in the future, where the original creator may no longer be running the class or associated with the unit.

 

6) Direct Quotes

 

Direct quotes always need to have a reference, and need to be referenced according to the rules of either APA or IEEE.

"nearly every participant that registered after attending the presentation showed 100% satisfaction” (Whyte, 2013, p. 4).
